Abstract

A debugging information display device is provided which concurrently displays a source list and debugging information when the source list is displayed through a debugger. A vectorizing line extractor, a vectorizing degree analyzer and a breakpoint-logical vector length information fetching unit are provided on a compiler side, and debugging information is affixed to an execution program output from the compiler. A vectorizing degree fetching unit is provided on the debugger side, and displays, together with source lines, vectorizing lines to be vectorized and the corresponding vectorizing degree information fetched from the debugging information. Also, a logical vector length analyzer and a real vector length fetching unit are provided to display logical and real vector lengths simultaneously. Further, a breakpoint setting unit and a breakpoint information analyzer are provided so that set breakpoints and specifiable breakpoints can be displayed when the source is displayed.
